## What is Tension?

Tension — Train Smarter. Send Harder!

Features

- Tension has a dedicated hangboard system with a full library of exercises covering every grip and protocol you need and the option to create custom exercises

- Each hang is timed automatically — set your hold duration, rest between reps, and rest between sets. Tension counts it down with audio cues so you stay locked in.

- Tension lets you log every workout with precision — recording sets, reps, weight, body weight, intensity, and personal notes. Review your entire training history at a glance and edit past entries whenever needed.

- Tension automatically estimates your 1-Rep Max for every exercise — including timed hangs — using a formula that accounts for hold duration. Track your finger strength, pulling power, and lock-off strength over time with clean trend charts. Run dedicated **benchmark tests** to measure your true max and watch it progress across months.

- Build multi-week training programs structured around your project goals. Assign exercises by week and day, set benchmark test weeks, and track completion as you go. Reorder with drag-and-drop, copy weeks to save time, and keep every training block organized from start to finish.

- Weekly charts break down your volume by sets, weight, or time — grouped by exercise group (Hangboard, Pull, Core, Antagonist) or individual exercise. Spot when your finger training is lagging, when you're overdoing pulling volume before a trip, or when a training block is paying off.
